George Carnell Leisure Centre Closure

As you are aware the George Carnall Leisure Centre is being closed. As a group we are fighting this and as with the Green Belt campaign have had the full support of Urmston MP Kate Green and Labour council group leader Andrew Western. Presently Trafford Borough Council have failed to satisfy three freedom of information requests (FOI) regarding the closure and we are appealing them. To date our brilliant campaigners have managed to gain 3’915 signatures, by attending events such as Flixton Festival, plus many pop up signing events in Urmston town centre, culminating with a massive 790 signatures alone, gathered on Artisan Market day at the start of this month. This campaign is ongoing and our determination to get this disgraceful decision reversed is unrelenting.

This has followed two and a half years of uncertainty surrounding the centre which has been fuelled with a long list of untruths and stories pedalled by people that want the centre shut because of the land it occupies, regardless of it's unquestioned value to the community and it's undoubted potential to pay for itself when run properly by those very people, had they cared about it's future security and the impact it would have on the community if it did. The events were held on May 21st at GHC and 30th May at Urmston  Library. Both events were attended by Council Leader Andrew Western and virtually all of our local elected representatives. Here are a few pictures from the events If you were unable to attend any of the events but want a say in the future of th...
